We’re all dealing with a FULL social calendar now. It’s just one thing after another, and another thing after another. The saga is almost never ending. While we’re not complaining about the many fun outings we’re getting the chance to head to – what a common complaint is is that there just aren’t enough party wear dresses! Everytime we receive an invite, the sheer excitement is instantly followed by a sense of dread – what am I going to wear, will it be right for the occasion, will it match the vibe, or do I need to change it up? And then, almost immediately, we end up calling our dearest friend or colleague to ask them the golden question – hey, what exactly are you wearing to this party? There you have it, instead of relishing the joy of a great social outing, we’ve now engulfed ourselves into the disdain of the ultimate party drawback – the fashion decision. So here’s our glittering piece of advice – simply read this very lovely guide to know the *perfect* styles to wear to the many different kinds of parties you’re about to attend. Ready to steal the spotlight? Scroll on!
1. For that laid back house party
The first rule for dressing correctly for a laid back house party is to be comfortable yet chic! It’s best to have your style in tune with the vibe of the setting which is mostly just many rounds of comfort food, great wine and a relaxed atmosphere. Which is why our Wine Organza Detail Top perfectly fits the bill. It’s luxe, it’s relaxed, it’s eye-catching while the organza detailing makes it absolutely party-worthy. Pair it with complementing wine pants along with chunky gold jewels and easy-to-move-in platforms to curate that perfect house party look.
2. For that sophisticated birthday party
When it comes to dressing for a birthday party, striking a balance is of utmost importance. You can wear something that’s over the top, but also not too over the top. Restrained elegance is the key to dressing appropriately for a sophisticated birthday party! Which is why you should resort to our Lilac Satin Draped Skirt and Lilac Satin Lapel Collar Shirt set. With its lovely lilac hue and soft-to-the-touch smooth satin fabric, it’s a no-brainer and an absolute winner. Pair it with white block heels along with a statement studded white crossbody to complete the already stunning look. A great addition can also be contrast-hued or pop-coloured accessories to take the look a notch higher.
3. For that fancy engagement party
It doesn’t get better than a satin dress for a stunning engagement party. Be it flowy, a mini dress or one with statement details, a satin number is always the most ideal choice for a festive and more formal occasion. Which is why our Fuchsia Shawl Collar Dress needs to be your go-to for the next engagement party you need to attend. What makes it special is its pop-colour and statement structure and tie detail. Its unique silhouette is bound to make you stand out from the crowd. Additionally, we love the festive spirit the lovely-to-look-at colour of the dress brings with it. Pair it with studded long earrings as well as a pair of dressy heels to look picture-perfect.
4. For that starry garden party
Stunning candles everywhere, an elaborate dinner table set-up, lovely music for company and a lush, open space. What’s not to love about starry garden parties? We’re well aware that outdoor parties are as fancy as a party can get, so it’s implied that you need to look your fanciest best. Enter: our Olive Cowl Neck Midi Dress. The stunning flowy satin adds a touch of luxe, the colour complemented the lush factor of the space, the lovely cowl makes the dress chicer. It’s pretty obvious that this dress is a no-brainer for the occasion! Amp it up with minimal gold jewellery and stand-out platforms.
5. For that impromptu office party
We’re not going to lie – office parties are probably the funniest ones out of the lot! They’re a respite from the usual 9-to-9, a high-energy way to hang out with your colleagues. Most office parties are champions in involving a bunch of drinking games (hey, beer pong!) and a lot of dancing. Which is why the assignment says only one and one thing: comfort, movement-friendly dress. Our pick? This Black Puff Sleeve Mini Dress that’s cute, relaxed, chic and perfect for the occasion. Pair it up with white chunky sneakers and pop-coloured jewellery to make for a happy office party ‘fit.
So, the next time you’re flipping through your social calendar, and the sudden dread of the ‘what to wear’ question comes through, you know what to do.
